SALEM, Mass. – The Endicott field hockey team traveled to Salem State this evening and earned a 10-0 shutout over the Vikings.
Endicott got off to a fast start as the Gulls tallied two goals within the first three minutes of the game. The first came from Sophia Cogliano (Saugus, Mass.) who was assisted by Emily Hirtle (Rowley, Mass.) and the second was scored by Jaylin Grabau (Lynnfield, Mass.).
Cogliano netted her second goal of the night nine minutes into the contest on a rebound. Less than two minutes later, Olivia Larson (Cheshite, Conn.) added her first goal of the season to make the score 4-0 in favor of the Gulls.
Senior Emylee Wood (Kensington, N.H.) got in on the scoring action during the 13th minute of the first half. Larson then tallied her second of the evening to give Endicott a 6-0 lead heading into halftime.
The second half was much like the first, with the Gulls continuing the offensive pressure, which led to a backhand goal from Madi Wood (Bristol, Vt.). Rounding out the scoring in the second frame for Endicott were Julie Champigny (Acton, Mass.), Lauren Whitney (Poway, Calif), and Lily Smith (Middlebury, Vt.).
